Q: Which color to choose among the four?
It all depends on the style of the garden and the desired effect. The brown is the most universal — it blends into all decors and immediately evokes the traditional backyard hen. The black is the most elegant and discreet in the vegetation. The white is the brightest and most visible, ideal in a dense garden. The yellow is the warmest and most original. For a successful backyard composition, mixing two or three different colors is the best option — a real backyard never has hens of just one breed.
Q: Can this hen stay outside all year?
Yes — balcony & terrace and outdoor garden. The polyresin is tested down to -20 °C and the UV treatment protects the feather tones and the red of the comb. Its weight (800g) ensures good stability on the ground in all conditions. No special precautions are needed for winter.
Q: Does this hen pair with the rooster from the catalog?
This is precisely the most recommended composition. The pecking hen (H27cm, 800g) is the natural counterpart of the rooster (H42cm, 3kg) — same backyard universe, same naturalistic style, very coherent size hierarchy. Two or three hens of different colors around the rooster recreate a lively and very realistic backyard scene in a garden or on a terrace.
Q: Are the four colors really colors of existing chicken breeds?
Yes — each color refers to a real breed. The black corresponds to the plumage of the Marans or the Australorp. The white corresponds to the Leghorn or the white Sussex. The brown corresponds to the Rhode Island Red or the red Sussex. The golden-yellow corresponds to the Orpington or the Cochin. This is not a strictly ornithological representation, but the chosen colors are those of the most well-known and appreciated breeds among backyard poultry enthusiasts.
Q: Is it a good gift for someone who has or dreams of having chickens?
A very good gift for this profile — and particularly well-targeted. For someone who already has chickens, it's a fun and affectionate nod. For someone who dreams of having them, it's a poetic way to put chickens in their garden without the constraints of a real chicken coop. In both cases, the pecking posture and the quality of the rendering make it a gift that is immediately appreciated.
